Installation

   

• When assembling, be careful not to let dust and foreign substances enter.

• Integrated Drive Axle (IDA) requires special grease, so do not add any other type of grease.

• Do not reuse the boot band.

1.Install the boot (A), large diameter band (B), small diameter boot band (C).

   

Install the boot (A) last.

2.Apply grease inside the hub bearing (A) and boot (B).

   

• Use the only grease included in the joint kit/boot kit.

• Use only half of the grease (150g) provided.

• Apply grease about 80% inside the bearing and about 20% inside the boot when replacing the whole part.

• Apply grease about 20% inside the boot when replacing the boot.

• Apply grease about 30% inside the bearing and 20% inside the boot If there is not enough grease inside the bearing.

• Integrated Drive Axle (IDA) requires special grease, so do not add any other type of grease.

3.Install the hub bearing (A).

   

• When installing the hub bearing, make sure the spline (A) fits into the hub bearing correctly.

• Make sure that the snap ring fits into the groove (B) securely.

• Do not reuse the snap ring.

• After installation, move by hand to check that the hub bearing is securely installed.

4.Install the boot (A) to the hub bearing.

   

Make sure the grooves (A), and (B) fit when installing.

5.Install the wheel side large diameter boot band.

(1)Install the large diameter band (A) temporarily.

(2)Using a tool such as a plier, tighten large diameter band (A) to install it.

   

• Install in order of large diameter band → small diameter band to prevent leakage.

• Make sure that the teeth (A) covered and the retainer cup (B) exposed after installing.If the teeth are exposed and the retainer cup is not exposed after installing, the boot band may be dislodged and grease may leak. Reinstall the boot band.

6.Install the wheel side small diameter boot band (A) using the SST (0K495 - C5000).

   

• Install in order of large diameter band → small diameter band to prevent leakage.

• Check the gap (A) after installing.

Ear type boot band gap (A) : 2.0 mm (0.0787 in.) or less

7.Install the Integrated Drive Axle (IDA).(Refer to Rear Driveshaf & Axle Assembly - "Integrated Drive Axle (IDA)")
